Bookroo's summary

Little Dragon's day is filled with energetic chaos, from loud roars to wild cannonballs, leaving a trail of adorable havoc. Yet, no matter how rambunctious he gets, Mama's gentle kiss always brings calm. This vibrant tale captures the boundless energy of a young boy and the tender bond with his mother, inviting readers to join in the fun and warmth of their playful adventures.

From the publisher

Little Dragon wreaks adorable havoc in this energetic picture book from the creator of Except If. With a PHOOSH and a Grrrrrr and a CANNONBAAAALLLLLL! Little Dragon tears through his day (and the house). But even when he gets a little too rambunctious, there’s no OH NO! that Mama’s kiss can’t fix. Jim Averbeck celebrates both the tremendous energy of a little boy and the tenderness shared between mother and child in this vibrant picture book that begs to be read aloud.
